Again reports about a deal for the takeover of the area of Tal Rif'at to a rebel faction. Facilitated by US between Liwa al-Mu'tasim (FSA) on one hand, and YPG and Jaysh al-Thuwar on the other, granting LiwaM al-Mu'tasim control over Tal Rif'at and surrounding areas in North Aleppo. Liwa al-Mu'tasim spokesman say this deal was reached after 2 months of negotiations and it will safeguard the area from any more war. Liwa al-Mu'tasim spokesman say the deal hasn't been fully finalized but will likely be soon and then announced in a press conference. Note that Liwa al-Mu'tasim is heavily influenced by the US, and they have had trade and truce agreemnents with the SDF before. By giving this area to al-Mu'tasim Brigade, TFSA would no longer be able to attack these villages.

A new statement by HTS rejecting the Astana deal and claiming that certain factions are trying to help foreign forces get into the areas which were captured by the efforts of the honest "mujahideen" and that they will try stopping/preventing this.
